Day 17 Knighton to Newcastle-on-Clun

Up at 08:00, away at 11:00. Cold night unlike previous few. Fellow camper reckoned it got down to 4C. Straight up steep hill out of campsite, plagued by folding yellow winged insects all day that seemed to blow in from the north. Lots of botes, not sure if from these or other insects. Another hard day of ups and downs. No campsite nor available B&B at Newcastle-on-Clun so I arranged a Taxi from Offa's Dyke path the 3 miles to Clun where I booked into my first B&B at the White Horse. Excellent room - I had forgotten how comfortable a bed was.
